The jaunt from central Porto Cervo is well justified when you arrive to Frati Rossi located along a cobblestone walkway that leads to a terracotta tile topped cottage alit in wild jasmine blossoms. Inside, stacked-stone walls offer a traditional décor to heavy, white-glove service and be-seen collection of Porto Cervo locals in the summertime fashion. Outside, a dramatic terrace is the place to be in idyllic summer weather with its grassy lawn and explosion of flowers ignited by candlelight and ocean views.
The Food
A meticulous, Italian seafood-minded menu begins with selection of crudo presentations varying between delicate whitefish and hearty cured tuna as well as tartare and raw bar options. Pasta course includes traditional beef and fish-topped variations ideally with portion of lobster or langoustines. Mains include ossobuco, Russian-style grilled prawns and fresh-charred meats arranged with a medley of veggie sides.
Last Word
Elegant Italian seafood eatery with dramatic terrace and gourmet food to match.
